On 3.8.1 (I didn't use 3.7.x series), "ifconfig" commands doesn't show any stats, i.e. all stats are zero. And bisect points the above commit. In fact, reverting the above patch fixes the regression of netdev stats. This patch looks like strange, and I'm not sure what this want to do. Any ideas? Well, anyway, this is bug report. Thanks. -- OGAWA Hirofumi
